KitchenAid KDDA27TR Water Line Fridge Service
A KDDA27TR, also sold as the KDDA27TRS, that is connected to a water line has three places where water can go wrong: the valve, the line and the filter housing. We inspect each one, then run water through the system and look for seepage, since a drip behind a cabinet this old may have been there a while.
Cooling complaints take a different path. A compressor that clicks every few minutes and never settles into a run usually has a start relay or overload protector that has stopped working, and the sealed system is fine. We test those parts with a meter before we say anything about the compressor.
Electronic controls on a model of this age can lose their grip, so a unit that runs but no longer reacts to the panel gets its board and wiring examined. Last, we listen for the evaporator fan to start when the cabinet is cold, because worn bearings stop it from turning. We give the price in writing before starting, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers the repair.
At the valve, the supply line and the filter housing, in that order. Any of the three can seep slowly. We tighten or replace the leaking part and run water through to confirm the area stays dry.
Probably not. The click is typically the start relay trying to start the motor and the overload protector cutting it out. We test both parts and replace the one that is weak.
Often yes. We test the control board, its connectors and the harness. If the board has failed, we replace it, and if the trouble is a loose or corroded connection, we repair that instead.
